Animatics for September 15th, 2014

Animatics due on Monday. These may necessarily be only rough approximations of what the final approach to the music will be, but exploration now will serve you well in the following weeks, so I'm expecting to see real research and effort. Avoid being passive, and don't let obstacles slow you down. The more you move forward under your own efforts, the more opportunities you will create for yourself.

Pitch Grading Criteria 
• presentation includes introduction of self and partner. 
• did you meet with your collaborator to discuss the music and possible visual approaches? Articulate technical process for moving forward (materials, steps, etc.) 
• together with your partner, articulate your goals for this piece of music: interpretation, ideas contributed by each of you. Summarize the main points of your conversation. Information posted to the “Journal” page on your blog. 
• degree to which idea shows inspiration, originality, basis for real dialogue between an animator and a musician. 
• preliminary thoughts on materials needed and overall production schedule. 

Animatic Grading Criteria 
• animatic with scratch music ready for class review. 
• animatic is easy to understand (visual continuity via shot selection), reflects conversation and beginning dialogue points made with your partner. 
• reflections on critique feedback posted to “Journal” page of blog, along with your own thoughts on the process to this point. * by end of class.
